Guelph senior uses cane in assault on neighbour

A Guelph senior was arrested Thursday morning, after a confrontation with a neighbour that ended with him hitting the neighbour with his cane.

The victim and the accused, both residents of a Woolwich Street building, “have not had the best of relationships,” a Guelph police news release said.

On Thursday morning, the two neighbours had a confrontation in the hallway, and one of the men took his cane and hit the other man on the head and hand, causing lacerations that needed minor medical attention, it said.

The 73-year-old suspect left in his wheelchair, but he was found a short distance away by police.

He was charged with assault with a weapon, and released to appear in court at a later date.
